This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 15, 2009:
i'm sweating a lot more! seriously, we've spent most of the past year in extreme drought mode and the summer was phenomenally hot. our local lakes are still, after three weeks of at least some rain, less than half full. everyone, including me, is conserving water more and is becomming radically aware of the changes we stupid humans have wrought.
i've known about climate change for decades and have altered my behavior over the years accordingly. i've always had an inkling, however, that there's more at work here. something in the core of my being has believed since childhood that our poles are shifting ~ at a slow pace in human time but an incredibly fast pace in our earth's time. i think we're in for an interesting ride...

Kristen,
Sweat is very cleansing. I usually sweat a lot in our jungle during the summer. In the winter, the cold air kills any germs in the mucus cavities. Extreme weather can be a bit healthy.
Droughts are sad. I hate watching the plants turn brown. It comes in waves, somehow part of the grand scheme of things.
My parents lake was way, way down. They said it would take 10 years to refill but I don't know if that's true. Perhaps a good snowy winter and rainy spring would do wonders.
Can you tell ? I'm a weather optimist ! Still, yes, I too do what I can. I did grow up in a desert. I know how precious water really is. It takes living in such conditions to understand that. Abundance = complacency.
The magnetism is supposed to flip, I've heard - north become south. Yeah, that would/will be one wild ride; and no one whose ever been alive for that one, is still around to tell the tale.
Sending lots of gentle rain
into your life in my heart and mind -
Deb
you're so sweet!
well, i'm in central Texas (the Texas Hill Country…) and while snow has happened on rare occasions here, it's really very infrequent. we are, on the other hand, right in 'Flash Flood Alley' with the highest consistent likelihood of flash floods in the world. personally, i'd much prefer a month or two of slow, consistent rain. that would be lovely!
thank you so much for your care and consideration!
namaste,
Kristen
My response is; 'it's better than no weather at all.'
Although, that could be debated.
We've had very cold winters lately and fairly mild summers.
It seems our planet is trying to correct itself.
Gaia will always have the last say.
Kristen, if you like steady rain, the the Pacific Northwest might suit you.
Oregon is my favorite, with its ample summer sunshine, mild winters, lush evergreen forests, mountains, waterfalls, rugged coastline, great seafood, unmatched organic produce, and environmentally aware people.
Wouldn't it be nice to have the freedom and resources
to travel anywhere you choose and at the same time be available to the synchronistic nature of spirits handiwork in our lives?
That is my passion.
“i think we're in for an interesting ride…”
Fasten your seatbelts!
yes, Gabriel, to always be physically precisely where we'd like to be would be simply luscious. so, instead we become mental travelers, creating in our mind's eye the space of our dreams. ah, doesn't that feel wonderful?
i've considered, among other locations, the Pacific Northwest. there's a mountain somewhere with my name and my home on it. still, i choose not to move too far away from my folks at this point. they're nearing a time when my presence will be necessary and, although i'm not my sister (their pride and joy), they love me dearly and love having me close. but, soon and very soon…
I certainly feel pride and joy as you love your parents
through this transitional time in their lives.
My love and prayers are with you, friend.
May the wind be at your back.
Soon and very soon
we are going to live our dreams!
have you ever wondered what 'soon' really means? it's so utterly up to the individual, ya know?
it's one of the more frustrating things in my life, pressing ~ ever-pressing ~ the need to develop more patience and faith. you see, almost every time i connect with the Universe to manifest whatever dream i may have, the almost inevitable response is 'soon'. now, to the Universe, that could mean one or two millennia, ya know? aaaaaaargh…
so, patience, here i come ~ soon, and very soon…
“Yard by yard, life is hard, but by the inch, life’s a cinch.”
I hope you find joy in the journey.
Got your back, Kristen.
no worries, Gabriel ~ i choose joy every moment of every day. after all, it's what makes everything worthwhile!
so, is it you & me against the world or with the world? i rather prefer with…
Having your back is being there when you need a resting place.
I'm a firm believer that Life is always for us.
Maybe it has to do with the intimacy I have with Life.
As I have mentioned;
Life is forever giving of itself, for itself.
Yes, you and me, one with the world.
Soon
You may have heard of the girl who had this chat with God:
God, you're so great. How long is a million years to you?
Why my dear child, a million years is but one second to me.
God, you're so great. How much is a million dollars to you?
My precious child, a million dollars to me is but a penny to me.
Thinking she could pull the wool over Gods eyes, she asks;
God, you're so great, can I borrow a million dollars?
Of course, my needy little one, just a second.
I remember a time in my life when patience was not in my repertoire of attributes. One day, I told myself that I was going to practice patience, and you know that day Life gave me many opportunities to do so. Needless to say, I folded under the pressure. It wasn't until I realized that I started my day with the intention to practice patience that a light went on inside my awareness. I was laughing so hard that people in the cars next to me must have thought I was a little strange. So now, I say to myself that I am patient and that, I become with ease. As so with anything we desire. Tears are welling up in my eyes thinking of the desire for peace, love and harmony in our world. I guess we only have control over ourselves.
So, with that I leave you with
peace, love and harmony
within you, friend.
actually, my family has always considered me to be incredibly patient, even in childhood. i would sew tiny little doll clothes, which became intensely detailed tailoring and needlework as i grew older.
working with children, i have the patience of a saint.
the personal soul mandalas i create are incredibly detailed and painstakingly created.
i'm very patient in tolerating the foibles of any partner i may have.
i patiently deal with my friends' mating/work/spiritual issues as they crop up and support them in whatever decision they choose.
i am a very patient person. otherwise i wouldn't have remained in this area for the last 20 years, knowing that i'm meant to be elsewhere.
patience, for me, really isn't that much of an issue. patience is just another word for love, and that comes quite naturally to me…
“patience is just another word for love,
and that comes quite naturally to me…”
An angel drops by to tell me what I needed to hear.
“i am a very patient person. otherwise i wouldn't have remained in this area for the last 20 years, knowing that i'm meant to be elsewhere.”
How about my kitchen?
:P
is your kitchen on a mountaintop? with a gorgeous placid lake to view? and no other homes too close (read acres between homes…), but a really good grocery store within a 15-20 minute drive away? that's where i'm meant to be…
Bring your recipes.
rumbling in tummy
mmmmm, what a lovely home! i love all the light and windows. (nice kitchen, too…) the lot looks much larger than an acre, not that an acre is anything to sneeze at… why are you selling it?
” When Everything Changes, Change Everything”
One of the books I'll be reading on my winter retreat to Florida.
I've been all over the map as far as my intentions are concerned.
I sense you and I may have this in common.
Every time I go in a certain direction, Life seems to grab me by the back of my belt, telling me to hold your horses,
but always assuring me that I am with you.
Life is directing me to simplify my life.
I'm working on nonresistance to change.
Comfort and security can hinder this change.
Now that I'm single, a home like this is too much for one person to maintain.
I was hoping to meet a beautiful, like-minded woman(with an oceanfront condo in Southern Florida) that would like to enjoy the ambiance of this sanctuary here in Michigan, during the warmer months.
Costa Rica seems like a nice place to live, too.
You see what I mean about being all over the map?
I feel like I'm rambling here, so we'll leave it at that.
My typing skills aren't the greatest, but my gabbing skills make up for it.
Because of your beautiful spirit I feel close to you, Kristen, and I sense Life has something in store for us, individually or collectively.
It remains to be seen, but I trust in Divine appointment.
Maybe one day you and I can chat.
i would enjoy that very much!
i know what you mean about the directions we take. i'm all about waiting for the prodding to move, but sometimes i think the Universe is waiting for me to shake my fist ~ to really become invested ~ and scream my desire to the sky. oddly, in the past it has been under those circumstances that i've gotten the clearest messages from spirit. so, i guess the question becomes ~ what are you that invested in?
Openness
No Secrets
Integrity
Family
A beginning of a good friendship.
;D
